SAUGERTIES — A traffic stop by Town of Saugerties police Friday on Route 9W led to the arrest of a 20-year-old Saugerties man on a felony DWI charge, and a charge of unlawful possession of a noxious material.

Police said Brett J. Diers of 17 Blue Mountain Road was driving a vehicle in an intoxicated condition. They said he had a blood alcohol content greater than .18.

Police said Diers was charged with misdemeanor noxious material possession because he had a canister of Mace. Diers had a previous criminal conviction, police said, so he is prohibited from possessing the Mace.

Diers was released on an appearance ticket. He is due in Saugerties Town Court April 30.
